Roxborough Residents Get Valentine's Surprise

Two Roxborough residents get a special visit from Verizon on Valentine's Day.

Roxborough residents Joseph Vita and Devin Keck got special visits on Valentine's Day from Verizon because "nothing is less romantic than waiting to get your cable and internet installed."

The Cupids dropped by to say thank you on behalf of Verizon FiOS and deliver special Valentine’s Day gifts including bouquets of roses, boxes of chocolates and Verizon swag. Getting a fun surprise beats sitting around waiting for the tech, right? And, the new customers from Roxborough adored the surprise

Valentine Romance: Tell Us Your Best Story

Valentine’s Day brings out the romance in many people. We want to share your best stories.

Valentine’s Day is in the air and with it, romance. You may be thinking about the most romantic thing your boyfriend, husband or past love did for you this time of year. We want to know your story. I loved reading a great proposal story in our Cutest Couple Contest in Radnor: “My best friend proposed to me with a surprise homemade documentary on how perfect we are for each other this October at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. Without my knowing, all our friends and family were the audience in the theater that night :)” wrote Gia Datillo. My husband proposed to me on Valentine’s Day. It was a freezing cold day and he took me to a park we’d been to on our second date. He gave me a very large wrapped box that rattled when you shook it. I …

Babysitters Needed for Valentine’s Day

How do you find someone to look after your kids on a night when all couples want to be having a 'date night?'

Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day when couples go out, so what happens when so many couples go out on the same night? Two words: babysitter shortage. It can be difficult in the first place to find someone you trust to look after your children, but Valentine’s Day presents an additional challenge. Most couples would like to go on Valentine’s Day, which stretches the babysitter pool and on top of that, many babysitters themselves have Valentine’s Day dates, whether they’re grandparents, students or anywhere in between. If you're still searching, you can look online. There are some websites where sitters can register.  (Disclaimer: I have not tried any of these sites to book a sitter. If you have and would like to share your opinion of …

Can someone please explain to me why, if all of these couples are the epitome of cute in Roxborough and Manayunk, NONE of the prizes feature establishments that are located in Roxborough and Manayunk? You folks can't find suitable businesses in Man/Rox to offer prizes? I find that very hard to believe.   more ›
